Stevie Spiteful and his cadre of goons - Kenney, Baird, Toews - recognize in Netanyahu a rightwing comrade-in-arms familiar with the bully principle. Alison at Creekside gets it:
Netanyahu says Israel has never had a better friend than Canada and thanked Steve today for being "an unwavering friend of Israel."
Too true. Canada was the first country in the world to boycott Gaza for electing Hamas. When Israel bombed Lebanon in 2008 killing 1400, Steve called Israel's actions "measured". A Canadian killed when Israel shelled UN offices went unremarked by our government. We support the Wall at the UN. Peter Kent, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, has more than once stated on his website that "an attack on Israel would be considered an attack on Canada." We have cut off funding to humanitarian groups like Kairos and UNRWA who have been sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians, and replaced members on the board of the once independent group Rights and Democracy with pro-Israel hawks.
Those who study the physiological and psychological factors present in subtance abuse and dependance have pointed out the role of the enabler in allowing the problem behaviours to escalate.
Harper is the biggest enabler of the state of Israel's violent apartheid policies and practices.

Zow! Really excellent post, dBO!
If Stevie Peevie is enabling Israel, doesn't that mean our Totally Fucking Useless Opposition is enabling the enabler? Just askin'.
I think the term "opposition" has undergone a definition change. Now it only means "the act of sitting in a velvet green seat across from someone else sitting in a velvet green seat."

If the opposition is representing 60+ percent of the voting population or at least those that voted, they're going to need a lot more punches through the phone before they believe the 'average' Canadian is going to have their backs when they sit in those velvet green chairs. Aren't we all Spartacus?
